BL Infestor is still strong, but it doesn't seem to be the most overpowered retarded shit it was in Wings of Liberty. Time to see how terrans do against it now that their units that survive without being chain fungled to dealth to an extecnt. Lucifron kind of lost too many stuff against mutas though.

Wings of Liberty Up and Downs thoroughly more interesting at the moment. Of course Korean high-level play vs. foreign LoL level play.

Didn't know about the thor change. That's pretty cool.

It's cool, but it's useless. Even against Carriers/Tempests it isn't a significant improvement and against voidrays you'll want Splash.

Thors are the valkyrie of SC2. They're only good against mutas.

Lolololol. ESPORTS.

Edit: For the love of god swap QXC for Kaelaris.
I'd rather have a pro Terran talk. Not his fault the other two can't carry a convo. I see the passes and openings, but they aren't ready to take the handoffs or carry anything past an answer.
Gimme knowledge all day anyway.

Also, anyone know what is going on for VODs?

What the hell is the hold up, it's been like 2 hours since this started and they haven't even finished a BO3.

I don't agree with this. I've never seen a single player split their air units perfectly against thors (or anything really), so the splash is still a significant factor. Mass thor murdered old mass voidrays, I assume they'll still murder new voidrays.

Of course getting a lot of thors hasn't been viable in WoL for a long time but then mass air vs. terran isn't really a thing either (outside TvT where Thors are still important).

Yeah but don't you think that pro analysis would be better in-game?

They're having issues with the beta server apparently. It's to be expected on the first day (this is the first time they've ever tried something like this).

Supernova lost a game to the collapsing rocks in GSTL and Luci just lost thata game to move commanding onto the unbuildable rocks.

Parting vs Nerchio coming on, hopefully this will be good.

edit: soul trail but now with mothership core recall. lololololol.

I don't understand something, does simply right clicking on the rocks attack it? I'm (somewhat) confident it doesn't in WoL. The reaper was still in range of the lings so it wasn't going to jump down anyway if attack-moved onto the low ground. So it seemed like doubly poor control by Lucifronn.

Turning in. Anyone know what is up with VODs for this IEM?

You A+click away from units to stutter step. Usually it's just ground so your units engages in auto attacking nearby units in range (turns and shoots). But by attacking the rocks he got surprised or thought he was going to go down the cliff? I missed the slow-mo replay.

Nevermind, I actually just checked in WoL and you do attack rocks if you right-click into them. I never knew that.

Parting with that nice sim city!

Oh nice, for the first time we're going to see this mass muta at once mid-game transition vs. stargate opening get absolutely smashed.
